Grey Skies and Pink Clouds

Just a sneak peek this has taken me most of today and I cant stop looking at it, as I said yesterday my favourite paint shop was not open and they have gone on holiday. I just couldn't hold back so Antoinette and Original are back on the scene. This is the end result but still needs a good wax. Will upload all of the finest details tomorrow, she really sits beautiful in the kitchen.

Claire our kitchen is not big but is a square so everything like table and chairs the cabinet ect is pushed to one side of the room. Once the kitchen starts its make over you will see how tiny it really is. If there's a corner or a space on the wall just fill it, fill it and cram it in lol.

Thank you so much I was a little hesitant at first as there is so much of the same colour in the kitchen but once the new kitchen is fitted it will add a little warmth as you know Antoinette is that perfect coloured pink its not over powering at all. I am glad I have given you your pink fix for the day, smiles all round. Tracy xx

Hello Tracy:What a wonderful transformation you have made to the cupboard. Surely, you will smile every time you take something from it. We really like the idea of 'unfitted' pieces of furniture in kitchens. They add a most interesting touch.

Hello Jane and Lance, you are so right this was originally a linen cupboard with deep fitted shelves and the stability to hold a great deal of china. I do like to mix things up a bit, I wanted a glass cupboard fitted in amongst the new kitchen cupboards but was not possible due to size so this was my next option. And yes this new transformation has put a huge smile on my face I just love seeing all my odd's and ends come to life through the glass. Thank you for your you lovely comment. Tracy :)
